Care Rooted in Family & Rescue Love

With years of devoted pet care, puppy training, senior support, rescue volunteering, fostering, and animal‑care schooling, I bring heartfelt, family‑level love and patient, intuitive attention to every dog I care for. Pet care is woven into my daily rhythm — from morning check‑ins to evening walks, caring for our three rescues in my wide, fenced‑in backyard is my daily cup of sunshine! Their love fuels my purpose and inspires me to help other pet parents care for their furbabies while they handle life’s responsibilities. My home was chosen with dogs in mind. Our wide, fenced‑in backyard offers shade, space, and freedom — originally built for our first rescue who needed safety, comfort, and room to explore. With no stairs inside, senior pups move easily and confidently. Every room is pet‑friendly, and dogs are welcome on furniture to relax as part of the family. Crates are available only if your dog feels safe choosing one — never forced. Our three rescues freely roam indoors and outside, receiving gentle, attentive care, and your furbaby will be treated with the same love, respect, and family‑level comfort.

DO NOT USE HER. After a meet and greet and we both agreed to her watching our dogs for the 4th of July weekend she totally ghosted us.

House Sitting • May 10, 2021

After a really great meet and greet, Jennifer was a no show with absolutely no communication. I reached out several times with no response. We are super disappointed and confused. I had another house sit scheduled too with her which I had to cancel and it put us in a very difficult spot.

Jennifer was so GREAT with my 1.5 year old Frenchie during a recent day-long sitting. She takes a fun-loving but responsible approach to her work with animals and her experience and excellent rappor with dogs shows from the minute she walks in the door. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Jenn!

Jennifer was great! We came home to 5 happy pups. 3 of our dogs needed twice daily medicine, and I felt comfortable knowing Jennifer had the knowledge to meet their needs. I really enjoyed the daily picture updates and notes!

Schedule

Pet care is woven entirely into my daily and weekly rhythm! Caring for my three resident rescues is my primary passion and my full-time daily focus.Because this is my dedicated lifestyle, I provide a highly structured and dependable environment for your furbaby. Daycare operates Monday through Friday with a strict drop-off window between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, aligning perfectly with my morning routine. Our weekend boarding begins on Friday evenings as daycare wraps up and runs through Monday morning. This predictable schedule ensures that transitions are always calm, organized, and stress-free for the dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

To ensure total peace of mind, I treat your dog like a true member of my own family. I enforce strict safety boundaries: I only accept small-to-medium dogs and strictly limit care to a maximum of 3 guest dogs at any time. My home features a secure, attached garage breezeway that serves as a double-gated transition zone, ensuring no dog can ever bolt near the street during drop-offs.Inside, my home is a staircase-free, pet-friendly environment where dogs are welcome to lounge on the furniture, beds, or right in my lap. Crates are entirely optional and only used if a dog seeks one out for feeling safe and secure. Our wide, securely fenced chain-link backyard is a true outdoor paradise built for comfort, safety, and freedom to experience zoomies! A custom area with a patio cover which provides adequate shade and has a dedicated cooling station, cooling mats, and a small dog pool with a water hose for fun, safe summer splashing.(Note on Profile History: If you scroll down, you will see two negative reviews from 7 years ago regarding scheduling issues. At that time, I lacked the firm boundaries I have today. I experienced burnout, took a long hiatus, and completely rebuilt my life and business. Today, I operate with strict capacity limits and automated schedule rules to ensure a flawless, ultra-safe care environment.)

Pets

A typical day

After morning drop‑off, your pup joins our three rescues for a full day of play, exploration, and love. We start with backyard zoomies in my wide, fenced‑in yard — chasing squirrels, exploring shady tree spots, and running until their hearts are happy. Midday brings games with sensory play, and calm breaks inside where every room and every couch is theirs to enjoy. Seniors get slow, supportive strolls; puppies get patient guidance and confidence‑building play. Throughout the day, your furbaby is treated like family, free to roam, relax, or run. By pickup time, they’re joyfully tired, fully loved, and ready to cuddle up at home while you unwind from your busy day.

To have my doggie daycare run as smooth as possible, its important to complete a Meet and Greet so you & your furbaby, myself and my furbaby rescues can be thoroughly aquainted and informed specifically about the following: TEMPERMENT & PERSONALITY SOCIAL SKILLS W/ OTHER DOGS HOME ROUTINE & HABITS HEALTH, MEDICAL/PHYSICAL NEEDS FOOD RULES/RESTRICTIONS TRAINING LEVEL & COMMANDS COMFORT PREFERENCE SAFETY CONCERNS CRATING LEVEL PLAY STYLE & ACTIVITIES Because my home is designed for comfort, safety, and rescue-rooted love, knowing these details allows me to match each dogs energy with my own rescues. This keeps the yard safe, while preventing stress and feeling overwhelmed while creating an environment that feels like family, and ensures every dog leaves happy, tired, and fulfilled.
